APPLE-CORER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 8, 1906.

Application filed July 29, 1905. Serial No. 271,800.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES F. ROB RTS, a citizen of the United States, residing at C010- rado Springs, in the county of El Paso and State of Colorado, have invented a new and useful Apple-Oorer, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to apple-corers, and has for its object to provide a device of the class embodying new and improved features of cheapness, durability, simplicity, and utility.

A further object of the inventionis to provide a device of the class having a tube secured at a convenient angle to a table and provided along its outwardly-extended end with cutting-teeth arranged along the edge of the tube and upon which an apple is forced in such osition that the core is cut entirely around by the teeth and is forced into and through the tube, after which the apple is withdrawn, leaving-a hole entirely therethrough, and the operation repeated.

With these and other objects in View the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the ap ended claim.

In the drawings, Eigure 1 is a view of the improved apple-corer in side elevation, showing in outline an apple thereon. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the im roved corer.

Li e characters, of re erence designate corresponding parts throughout both views.

In its preferred embodiment the improved corer forming the subject-matter of this application com rises a tube 10, secured at an angle toa tab e,fas 11, in any approved manner, as by the clamp 12, having the thumbscrew 13, provided with a bearing-disk 14. The tube 10 is secured to the clamp 12 in any approved manner, as by the cross-bar 15, to which it is secured, as by the rivet 16. About the tube 10 is disposed a shield 17 by means of an opening 18, within which the tube is embraced. The shield is secured at an angle to both the tube 10 and table 11 in any approved manner, as by the braces 19, secured to the shield by rivets 20 and to the clam by the rivets 21. The tube 10 is provide at its outer extremities with cuttingteeth 22, formed about and integral with the outer end of the tube and arranged to cut a cylindrical core portion 23 from an apple 24. At the end opposite the teeth 22 the tube is cut obliquely to its axis, as at 25, and from out of which the cores 23 are discharged.

With the device mounted as shown an a ple is grasped by the operator and either t e stem or blow end presented to the teeth 22, when a pushing and twisting movement will force the apple 24 upon and the core portion within the tube, after which the apple is withdrawn and dropped into any convenient receptacle, the core remaining in the tube. A repetition of the operation forces the core downward along the tube by the introduction of another, and by continued use the cores are forced out through the oblique 0 en end, from which they may be discharge in any ap roved manner into i any convenient receptac e.

Having thus described the invention, what is (iiimedl is, I d

a e-corer com rising, ac am a a ted to b d secured upori a table, a shield pi" 0- vided with an opening, and secured to the clamp, a tube having one end opening formed by a cut oblique to the axis, and with the obliquely-open end inserted through the o ening in the shield and secured to the 0 amp and the opposite end of the tube, formed- Withcutting-teeth arranged about the edge.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
